I guess I didn't write well. There is the screw that goes through the heatsink/cpu assembly and then there are several more screws that go through the mobo...three IIRC. You'll notice there are a couple chassis tangs at the edge of the board that it hooks or slides onto. If you didn't remove the

The DP board will fit and work. Probably a good idea to push the PMU button (not called CUDA in the MDD) once you get everything back together in the event that the former owner had some hardware attached which you don't. The replacement is fairly straight forward: unplug all cables/wires from
